Chapter 685: The Buddha's Retreat!
The outer area of Kunlun Mountain is relatively safe, and after entering the inner area, there are more jackals and beasts, even Yang Hong and Basang Zhuoma have encountered a lot of trouble.
Especially one of them, Basang Zhuoma was bitten by an extremely rare poisonous insect, and Yang Hong wasted a lot of strength to dissolve the poison in her body, so she had to stay in place for a few days to let Basang Zhuoma recuperate.
In this process, the relationship between the two has warmed up more and more sharply, from strangers to friends who have nothing to talk about, Basang Zhuoma, who has been in the Potala Palace and lives in a relatively closed environment, has finally experienced the feeling of having friends, in addition, there is a trace of her own indescribable emotions, which permeated in the bottom of her heart.
The terrain in the Kunlun Mountains is complex and changeable, and the map given by the Grand Lama Sanchi is only a rough direction location, coupled with the harassment of poisonous insects and beasts, it took more than ten days for the two to finally find the valley in the record, and the legendary Buddha's retreat place is in this valley.
"Is there really a snow lotus here, Grand Lama Sanchi won't lie to me, right?" Standing on the top of a mountain peak, looking at a barren valley in the distance, Yang Hong's face was slightly ugly.
Not only Yang Hong, but the scene in front of him and the scorching temperature around him, even Basang Zhuoma didn't know how to speak for Grand Lama Sanchi.
As soon as you get close to the valley, the temperature continues to rise, and the temperature is as high as in the hot summer.
In addition, the original lush vegetation has become less and less as it approaches the valley, and at a glance, the valley and its surroundings are even more barren.
As we all know, snow lotus is a precious medicinal material that lives in a cold environment, the older the snow lotus, the higher the degree of cold it needs, otherwise the snow lotus will not be able to grow for a long time, and it will soon wither and decay.
Millennial Snow Lotus, it stands to reason that it should live in an icy and snowy place, an extremely cold place, like this scorching and barren valley, is not a suitable environment for Snow Lotus to grow at all, let alone a Millennial Snow Lotus, even ordinary Snow Lotus cannot grow.
"We're already here, we can't just give up, we always have to go in and investigate, maybe there are unexpected gains, maybe it's not possible." Standing next to him, Basang Zhuoma folded his hands and persuaded apologetically.
Turning his head to look at Basang Zhuoma, Yang Hong nodded, but his mood did not improve, and he even secretly suspected that Grand Lama Sanchi had been playing tricks on him, maybe there was no snow lotus here at all.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Yang Hong's eyes, if that was the case, he would definitely not let go of Grand Lama Sanchi.
It took the two of them an hour to reach the mouth of the valley, and just standing at the mouth of the valley, they could feel the heat wave coming from inside the valley.
"This valley can't be a crater." Secretly guessing, Yang Hong became even more suspicious of the fact that there was a snow lotus in this.
In the past, when he was a mercenary, he had carried out missions in many harsh environments, including a group of terrorists in a volcanic belt, and his memory of the other environments of the volcanic belt at that time is still very similar to the situation in this valley at this moment.
"There may be danger for a while, and I can't take care of you, so you should be more careful." Turning his head and instructing Basang Zhuoma, Yang Hong's mind moved slightly, and the sensing field expanded to a range of twenty-five meters, and within this range, he could detect any wind and grass at the first time.
In the past ten days in Kunlun Mountain, he has not been idle, constantly transforming spiritual power into spiritual power, and with his continuous efforts, he finally transformed all spiritual power into spiritual power.
This kind of transformation is like a refinement, although the quantity is a little smaller than before, the quality has been significantly improved, and the most direct change is that the spiritual induction field has increased from the limit range of twenty meters to the level of twenty-five meters.
When I was outside, I just felt a heat wave in the valley, and when the two of them entered the valley one after the other, they realized that the valley was really not ordinary.
The scorching heat poured up from the ground, it was like floor heating, which made Yang Hong suddenly feel very depressed, and he and Basang Zhuoma were like being thrown into a cauldron and were about to be cooked at any time.
Shaking his head to dispel this strange feeling, Yang Hong scanned the surroundings with his eyes, and did not find any danger, the heat wave was rolling in the entire valley, and there were no plants, and the entire valley could be seen at a glance.
"Didn't Grand Lama Sanchi say that there is a Buddha retreat cave here, why can't you even find the entrance to the cave?" After glancing at it, Yang Hong said strangely with a puzzled face, and while speaking, he looked at Basang Zhuoma next to him, but found that Basang Zhuoma was a little distracted.
With a move in his heart, Yang Hong opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong, or do you know where the entrance to the cave is." ”
This place is said to have been a retreat place for the Buddha, and in his opinion, Pasang Dolma, as a tantric holy woman, may know better.
Coming back to his senses, Pasang Zhuoma shook his head: "I know very little about this Buddha's retreat, and the records left by His Holiness at the beginning are so much recorded, and I don't know the specific situation very well. ”
"I see." Nodding with some disappointment, Yang Hong said strangely: "Then why did you lose your mind just now, I thought you had something in mind." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Basang Zhuoma hesitated slightly: "Just now, I seemed to vaguely hear the sound of the scriptures singing, and there was a strange fluctuation, but when I wanted to listen again, I couldn't hear it, and I don't know if it's a hallucination. ”
"Scripture Chanting!" Stunned for a moment, Yang Hong listened carefully, but he didn't hear any sound, other than that, he felt that the temperature around him was getting higher and higher, making him feel a little hot.
"Maybe it's other voices, don't worry too much, let's find them separately, after all, this place is said to be the Buddha's retreat, maybe the entrance is not distinguishable with the naked eye." didn't pay much attention to it, Yang Hong said his thoughts.
"Well, okay!" As he spoke, Pasang Dolma walked to one side, while Yang Hong went to the other side to find the entrance to the Buddha's retreat cave.
Glancing at the valley walls, it was easy to look at the valley in this barren and debris-free valley, and there was still no sign of the entrance to the cave, only the rock walls.
"Could it be that Grand Lama Sanchi is really lying to me, but what good is it for him to do so?" Secretly suspicious, Yang Hong was a little puzzled.
Before, he felt that Grand Lama Sanchi had deceived him by lying, but now that he thought about it, it didn't seem very reasonable, and this did not do Grand Lama Sanchi any good.
"If Grand Lama Sanchi hadn't lied, there must be something strange about this valley." Thinking to himself, Yang Hong pondered for a moment, and then used the sensing domain to carefully sense the surroundings of the valley, trying to detect something wrong through the sensing domain.
At first, he didn't notice anything wrong, but as time went on, he gradually noticed a phenomenon.
The temperature in the valley is getting hotter and hotter, but the heat is not evenly distributed, as if an invisible force is burning the valley floor.
After some induction, Yang Hong walked to the middle of the valley, feeling the scorching heat around him, and his face changed slightly.
He found that the whole valley was really like a cauldron, with the bottom of the pot in the middle of the valley, the highest temperature, and the surrounding side of the pot, which decreased in turn according to the distance.
Just when he was puzzled by his discovery, Basang Zhuoma, who was looking for him on the other side, also came to him thoughtfully, and seemed to have noticed something wrong.
"Dolma, did you find anything?" Yang Hong asked again.
"I don't know why, but I still hear the chanting sound as if I were somehow, and it sounds clearer in the middle of the valley, and more indistinct in other places."
Hearing Basang Zhuoma's words, Yang Hong did not ignore it this time, but became serious all of a sudden.
Although he didn't hear any chanting, the temperature in the middle of the valley was indeed higher than the rest of the valley, and it coincided with the chanting sound heard by Basang Zhuoma, and everything was in the middle of the valley.
"Could it be that the entrance to the cave is in the middle of the valley?" Secretly speculating, Yang Hong told his discovery and speculation.
Basang Zhuoma, who was originally puzzled, listened to Yang Hong's speculation, and a pair of beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really possible, Venerable Ram also inadvertently entered the Buddha's retreat at the beginning, he only knew that the entrance was in this valley, but he didn't know the specific way to enter at all. ”
Hearing this, Yang Hong nodded, but he was not very happy, although he found a clue, but even if the entrance was in the middle of the valley, they still didn't know how to enter.
"How the hell are you going to get in, do you have to dig three feet into the ground here?" Scanning the ground under his feet, Yang Hong thought helplessly, and in the end he could only pin his hopes on Basang Zhuoma.
"You must have seen the note left by His Holiness Ram, did he say that he encountered some strange situation in the valley that allowed him to enter the Buddha's retreat cave?"
Frowning and thinking about it, Basang Zhuoma shook his head and sighed: "When Venerable Ram returned to the Potala Palace, he was already seriously injured and dying, and he only said a few things about the Buddha's retreat cave. ”
Speaking of this, Basang Zhuoma's heart moved, and some memories came to his mind: "By the way, I heard Da before. According to Lai Lama, when His Holiness Ram wanted to go further, according to the records in ancient books, he would come to Kunlun Mountain to find a place for the Buddha to retreat and practice, hoping to take this opportunity to break through his cultivation. ”
"I see!" Nodding slightly, Yang Hong pondered for a moment, and said with a flash of inspiration in his mind: "By the way, since according to Venerable Ram, that cave is the Buddha's retreat and cultivation place, perhaps only Buddhist disciples can trigger the mechanism to enter the Buddha's retreat and cultivation cave." ”
Basang Zhuoma's eyes were also bright, and he agreed with Yang Hong's statement, thinking that he heard the voice of the Dharma chanting that appeared at that time, and sat down cross-legged in the middle of the valley like a blessed soul, reciting the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, and at the same time casting the nine-character mantra mudra one by one.
Standing next to him, watching Basang Zhuoma display the nine-character mantra mudra one by one from beginning to end, Yang Hong also benefited a lot, which gave him a more intuitive understanding of the nine-character mantra mudra.
Just when he sighed at the subtlety of the nine-character mantra mudra, the ground under his feet trembled violently, and Yang Hong was shocked to find that a red light was diffused on the ground under his feet, and the light spread out, as if forming a mysterious formation.
"Did it really work?" exclaimed, and without waiting for Yang Hong to react, the ground under his feet suddenly stepped into the air, and the whole person fell to the ground.
